Hide Members Text, Members Count, and Member Search

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not include a built-in option to hide the Members text, member count, or the member search bar on the Members directory page. If you want a cleaner layout or a more restricted browsing experience, you can hide these elements using a custom CSS snippet added through the BuddyBoss Theme Options.

Custom Workaround

Follow the steps below to hide the Members text, Members count, and Member search:

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
2. Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
3. Add the following CSS code:

.directory.members .subnav-search.members-search,

.directory.members header.entry-header,

.directory.members .members-type-navs {

    display: none;

}

4. Click Save changes

This will remove:

• The “Members” heading text
• The members count
• The member search field and filters

Note: Any modifications are considered custom work. Learn more about our Support Policy here:

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Will this affect individual member profile pages?

A: No. This CSS only applies to the Members directory page.

Q: Can I hide only the search bar but keep the member count?

A: Yes. You can remove specific selectors from the CSS if you only want to hide certain elements.

Q: Will this prevent users from searching members entirely?

A: This only hides the search interface visually. It does not disable member search functionality at a system level.

Q: Is this reversible?

A: Yes. Simply remove the CSS snippet and save changes.
